Okay, so I was tagged. Now I need to come up with 7 interesting facts about me. Hmmmmm
1. I love to be at home, in my jammies, just chillin' out! Especially on cold, winter, snowy days! (then I usually have the Christmas music on).
2. Call me Crazy, but Crafts are In! I am usually in the mood to create! I love seeing someone else's creativity, and turn it into a "work of art" of my own! I need a Girls Time Out! Anyone in?
3. Family, family, family! I love my family! I love spending time with them, and doing fun family activities.
4. I don't like to cook. Yep, that's right! My poor family suffers big time. I have 3 brothers, and all of them love to cook, and are GREAT at it. What happened to me ? :) I will "bake" however, but absolutely have to be in the mood!
5. I play the piano, and the flute, however, I have let my talents go by the wayside. I should practice harder!
6. I am very grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love serving in the Primary and learning from the little children.
7. I have three children, a cat, a dog, and a Wonderful Husband!
There, that wasn't too bad! Now I am tagging: Becky, Stephanie, and Tia, and anyone else who reads this and wants to do the same! It's kind of fun!

Sweet and Innocent!
Okay, some of you may not find this too funny! And a mother shouldn't be laughing that her kid would actually say this, but ..... I have to confess, it's my "one word" I say and he probably got it from me. (oops, did I just confess that. Oh my ****) Okay, so out of the blue, Justin asks me "why do we flush fishy's down the toilets?" "hmmmm, well ...." I said, "that's how they get to Fishy Heaven."
He looked at me strangley and said "would be more like Fishy Hell."
I thought I was going to die laughing. I repeated what he had said, and he (knew he wasn't supposed to say that word), and quickly said, "No, that's not what I said. Gosh Mom. You ruin everything." So, I don't know for sure if that's what he said, although it was pretty clear, but me laughing at him (which is a big NO NO) upset him enough he wouldn't tell me what he really said.
Hmmmmm. I guess I shouldn't say that word any more! Kids teach us so much don't they?
Our Basement Apartment for Rent
Hey any of you know anyone looking for a basement apartment? We're, of course, looking for a nice young couple that could contribute nicely to our neighborhood.

Making Salsa -- YUM!
Boy did we have fun this afternoon! Grandma came over with TONS of tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers, and everything else we needed to make homemade, fresh salsa. Ooh la la! It turned out so YUMMY! Thanks everyone, Carolyn, Mom, and kids! All of the hard work paid off!
What's been going on in my life!
So I'm hearing from a lot of you that I haven't posed in a while. And ..... you're right! Things have been going on, too! I think about it, but then I forget to take pictures, or the time has come and gone, or, well, I don't just think about writing to write, so I decided ..... I'd just write!
Last weekend was Conference. Wasn't it great! I loved listening to the Prophet speak. He brings a sense of peace to me. I miss President Hinckley, but there's something about President Monson that warms my heart. :) I can't wait for the talks to come out in the Ensign so I can read and study them.
I was going to post "before and after" pictures of my side yard, but I forgot to take the before, and still haven't taken the after! A dear sister in my ward "owed me some service," and last Thursday she "paid it off." She is sooooo wonderful! It was so great to chat with her, and actually spend time out in my yard (as most of you know is well needed). Thank you for your SERVICE! It was well done.
Another funny thing I thought about posting was Sami and her "pet day" at school. She cracks me up. Her class earned the right to bring in pets and show them off. She of course couldn't decide what to take in; her birds, cat or dog. She finally decided we'd take Valentine the cat. When it was her turn to get up in front of the class, she was not SHY at all. She started out by telling the class that it was her cat. She had earned the cat by doing chores and stuff, and got her "mom when did we get her?" I then spoke up and told the class that we had had her for 4 years now. Then Sami proceeded to tell the class that Valentine had had two liters of kittens. The first ones she had in the laundry room, and the second she delivered out in the garage. Yep, out in the dirty garage, ALL OVER. She scattered the kittens, delivering them in different places. Sami told her class that "it was hard to find all of them, we probably didn't find all of them, and there were probably dead kittens still in the garage." HOW MORBID is that! We've told her there are NOT dead kittens in the garage, that we found all of them, and besides, that was 2 years ago! Then she said that "we had given all of the kittens away and they were probably all dead now!" This girl of mine! Yes, a few of them we know of did get run over by their new owners, but still .... The last thing that she sooo embarrassed me over was the fact that there was one kitten that came to stay with us one weekend while his owner went out of town. That kitten ended up living with us cause it's owner never came back for him. We named him Cameron, and he was now "Jaren's" cat. Well, this cat never stayed home long enough to ever "take care of him." Sami told the class this, that he would always leave for weeks at a time, and then come back for a day or two. She told them he was "out looking for girl cats."
Okay, no more telling the kids the truth! I was so embarrassed. My face very rarely goes red, but I felt it 10 shades of HOT!
Soccer is almost over for the Fall season. Today was supposed to be the last day, however, the weathermen told us that it was going to snow today (which it did for a min. or two) so they cancelled all of the games. It is bitter cold out there, but we could have played! I haven't taken pictures of Jaren, this whole season. I took some of Justin, and will post those next week when the last game is over!
Well, that's about it. We've got Halloween costumes all finished up, but I'll post more on those later!
